Thank you for your response. It is appreciated. Just a couple of
questions to clarify things for me.

What exactly does -2147217405 mean when it is returned as an error
code?
And this is a weird thing for me to understand... I've been keeping a
close eye on results from one particular server. When I run my script
from my computer I only get results for Drive C on this server. And
what's more, the size of Drive C comes back as 76254. I'm thinking,
okay - I just don't have rights to see the other drives. But then if I
can't see drives D, E, H and Q, why can I see C? And what's more, when
someone else runs the script who does have admin rights, they get
results back for ALL the drives and yet the size for drive C comes
back at 10001. So what's up with that? Why would the size change? I
could run the script 2 minutes later and it is 76254 again.

Any thoughts on that?

Thanks again!
